"On second thought." His wife turned to look at him smiling mischievously. "Let's do it because I miss you." She placed a kiss on his lips, he was taken back at first but turned on right in the moment. He trailed wet kisses on her neck but she quickly stopped him.

"Wait." He stared down at her wondering why she wanted him to stop. "Turn off the light." She implored him not to think too much of it and stood up from the bed turning the lights off leaving only the dim bedside lamps so he could at least see his way around the room. He slowly took off her pajamas and placed wet kisses on her body, Every touch was sensational on her skin and she felt so good.

She shut her eyes, falling asleep exhausted by their activities earlier. Chris stood from the bed turned the light and went back to the bed to see his wife's beautiful face, She looked like a perfect and flawless creature fallen from heaven.

He noticed that she had put on her pajamas again and wondered why since she always felt unusually hot after sex and wouldn't even bother to wear clothes.

He held her arm placing a kiss on it but got shocked when he saw it was bruised, he was shaken with terror and immediately observed her other hands and noticed both of them were bruised, his stomach felt sickening and he tried to figure out what she had done.

"What's this?" He muttered staring in confusion, he also noticed live bites on their chest including her breast which were swollen, he was distraught not knowing what to say, and continued to observe it in shock, he hadn't touched her to the extent of harming her and they didn't look to be new, this was the reason she was wearing a long sleeve shirt and refused to let them have sex in the dark?"

"What's wrong honey?" She slowly opened her sleepy eyes staring at her husband, she noticed her body open and quickly covered it up. "Why are you staring at me so weirdly?" 

"What's that?" He asked her and she tilted her head tight her brows furrowed as if she knew nothing about what he was talking about.

"What is what?" She pretended not to understand what he was contending. She frowned at him

"Why do you have bruises on your hand and also on your chest area?" He asked her and for a moment she acted dumbstruck as if not knowing what to say.

"A game." She mumbled looking away as if she wasn't bold enough to say it, She leaned her back on her pillow and stared at her husband's signs to see he was still staring at her. 

"What kind of game? He inquired, wanting her to tell him more about it in detail. He looked mad at her and that was scary for her because he rarely got angry but she knew she could soothe him back to his normal state since he rarely holds anything to heart.

"Well, I was among those who were tied, and, that caused it to bruise before I knew it." She explained wriggling her fingers and pouting her lips and for a second he was about to drop the topic but he held his ground. "It's nothing you need to worry yourself about honey." She assured him yawning and wanting to do it too because of how tired she was.

"Game in a business meeting?" This didn't make sense to Chris and he wanted a better explanation than what she was saying right now. Her eahe had said they were dancing and now a game? Was this a business trip or something else? Chris needed to connect the dots properly before he made any bad decisions that could cost him a lot.

"The company organized a game where we would be tied by ropes and carried by another colleague, it was initiated to enhance trust among each other." She added seeing that he didn't buy the first one she said. Never had he heard about a company wanting to enhance the trust between co-workers, since when was that the primary aim of a company? No matter how Chris reasoned it nothing seemed to make any sense but he didn't want to tell her so she wouldn't view him as being suspicious towards her.

"Trust?" Chris scrunched his face trying to hold back the anger he was feeling. He pursed his lips letting out a sigh as he stared at his wife's lie to his face without hesitation, it felt as though his eyes were finally opened.

"Yeah, it was fun, Maybe we can try it sometime with other couples." She suggested holding his palm in hers with a warm smile on her face. "I was shocked myself when we were told to play the game but it was worth it.

"I don't like you being involved in risky games like this so please tell them, it's alright if they send you away, My paycheck is about enough money to sustain us for a long time," Chris said and her eyes widened, she leaned forward and burst out laughing at her husband. He was never this  

"There were other more dangerous games than this." She implied wanting him to know this was the safest she had played hit he wasn't buying that crap. He had a strong feeling she was lying to him and wanted to let her spill the truth all herself but the more questions he asked she always covered it up with more lies and he began to question 5he years he had been with her. Was it also a lie too?

"Why would a company create such nonsense? It's hard to believe that it's a business meeting and you had the time to play games, it just makes me wonder if you only went for a vacation." Chris frowned, acting like he was dumb about this discovery. She was dumbstruck and couldn't say a word to him.

He wanted to make sure that she never got to stress herself during the last few months of her pregnancy, and that he was always there whenever she needed him. He only went to the office if the situation needed itTwisting her neck sideways to relieve them of it's stiffness, her hand instantly went to her protruding belly, rubbing gentle circles around them as a smile played on her lips.

She turned around to ask her friend Daphne."Sure, it suits your sling but I feel it may be too heavy for you to move around," Daphne suggested while staring at the dress.

He also took it as a time for her to take a break from all the stress that had happened to her."Aren't these gifts a little too much?"

He smiled at Melissa laying in the bed and the only thing he got back was the beeping machine noises that assured him she was right.He walked towards the flower vase replaced the old ones with the new ones he had just brought and walked to the chair to sit beside Melissa's bed. "Wale up soon okay?" He gently lifted her hand and placed a gentle kiss on it.

    "What?" Melissa was stunned to see Aria and glanced at Chris."She's with Alex." He forced out the words and gazed at Melissa."Such a whore." She mumbled and pulled out a gun from her pocket aiming at Aria."You have a death wish, don't you? Stooping so low that you spread your legs for every man you see.""What the hell do you know about me huh?" Aria lashed out."I know that you're a whore, that's for certain." Melissa shrugged her shoulders, Chris had finally noticed the way Melissa dressed as an officer and tilted their head wondering if he was making things up."Why are you wearing this?" Chris asked her curiously."Long story short I'm an investigator." She gave him a quick smile before gazing at Aria who was also shocked at the discovery."So all this while you used working with him as a cover-up?" Aria smirked. "Wouldn't it be shameful if they knew how you got pregnant?""That is none of your concern!" Chris raised his voice at Aria."Don't you dare raise your voice at me!" S

He asked referring to Aria who was glaring at him furiously."You seem quite energetic for the day but I'm afraid you're interrupting a heart-warming scene," Alex smirked."Aria come here right now," Kade ordered her but she stood firmly in the ground."Who do you think you're talking to honey" Sir folded her hand on her chest and smiled, Kade was somewhat taken aback, he could sense a change in her and wondered why she had behaved like this all of a sudden. "You had better watch that mouth of yours.""Just what do you mean by that?" Kade demanded, he was furious. "Are you still going to choose that bastard over me?" He pointed to Chris who remained quiet and hung his head low."I doubt that is the situation here." She threw herself onto Alex and smiled."You better get away from her or I will blast your head off."
